At Diverse Optics, injection molding is our specialty. We were founded as an optics molding company and today we continue the tradition by offering unmatched polymer optics processing expertise. When your design defies conventional injection molding design rules, look no further than the processing engineers at Diverse Optics to find the solution. Sure, we use the fundamentals like Taguchi Design of Experiment (DOE), Window Processing, and Decoupled (Scientific) Molding, but we also layer in over 20 years of our own secret sauce to guarantee your molded optics – thousands of them - are functional works of art.

Single Point Diamond Turning (SPDT) plays a key role in nearly all of our polymer optics programs. Whether it’s prototyping, tooling inserts, pilot production, or some combination of the three, diamond turning is a fundamental part of our process. At Diverse Optics, we diamond turn some of the most challenging optical elements with complex forms and shapes in-house.

A large portion of our polymer optics require thin-film coating. Beware, not all coaters are created equally and it takes a unique skill set to coat polymer optics. Some would say coating polymer optics is an art form. So, we leave this to the experts. Diverse Optics has teamed with the industry’s most premier polymer optics coating houses to offer a comprehensive range of thin-film coating options. Our customers benefit from our relationships and volume throughput with these key suppliers and we manage the entire process. You just place your order for coated polymer optics with us and we’ll handle the rest.

Need a few optics put together? Or optics with non-optical parts? We can do that too. Our engineers are skilled at multiple types of optical and mechanical assembly and bonding. We use optical adhesives from Norland and Locktite and perform standard and UV Cure alignment and bonding of multiple optical elements. Diverse Optics will also assemble optical elements with non-optical (mechanical) parts to deliver a complete optical assembly. Need it tested before it’s delivered? Sure, we’ll do that for you too.

Custom polymer optic components and assemblies are our
specialty. We manufacture everything from diffractives, to
TIR's to combiners using both common (PC, PMMA, & PS)
and more exotic (COP, OKP4, & HTLT) polymer resins.

Diverse Optics provides strong in-house engineering support backed by solid strategic partnerships with leading polymer optics designers. We offer a wide array of engineering services including optical design, opto-mechanical design, mold design, mold flow analysis, and pre-production cost analysis. You also benefit from a team that has the knowledge to ensure your products are robust and suitable for large-scale manufacture.

Producing ultra precision polymer optics requires ultra precise metrology equipment because, let’s face it, we can only make what we can measure. Sure, we injection mold and diamond turn some of the industry’s most precise polymer optics, but you want evidence of that precision. So, we’ve invested in some of the most recognized names in ultra precision optical metrology to prove it to you. Names like Zygo, Taylor-Hobson, and Nikon (Nexiv)...

While most of the optics we manufacture are made-to-order custom designed lenses, Diverse Optics offers a complete line of off-the-shelf raw material Zeonex pucks (Zeonex blanks) and collimating lenses.
